The Truth Behind Juncker's Lies: In The Second Largest Greek City, 1250 Companies Have Shuttered In 2012

European viceroy of various neo-colonial territories Jean-Claude Juncker, best known for being a self-professed pathological liar, just concluded a press conference in which he did what he does best: lie. Here is a sampling of the soundbites along with our commentary:

EU'S JUNCKER SAYS TRUTH IS GREECE SUFFERS CREDIBILITY CRISIS - coming from a pathological liar, this one is our favorite

EU'S JUNCKER SAYS BALL IS IN GREEK COURT; IS LAST CHANCE. The ball will be repoed to the ECB shortly

EU'S JUNCKER SAYS NOT SAYING THERE WON'T EVER BE A 3RD PROGRAM or 33rd program

EU'S JUNCKER SAYS GREEK EURO EXIT WOULD BE RISK TO EURO AREA and Obama's reelection

EU'S JUNCKER SAYS BALL IS IN GREEK COURT; not for long: ball will soon be repoed to the ECB

And much more propaganda. Here is the truth. According to Greek Thema, in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, so far in 2012, an unprecedented 1,250 companies have shut down. This means no jobs, no tax revenues, no money in circulation. A complete and total economic collapse.

So let us explain: while Greece and Europe may engage in endless check kiting Ponzi schemes: such as the most recent one, whereby Greece promises to pay Germany by issuing bills, bought by its banks, which in turn are repoed to the ECB via the ELA, with the cash used by the country to pay Germany and the ECB, even as Germany's contingent liabilities get more massive by funding the ECB's capital, the reality is that unless someone does some work, and creates real wealth, real money, instead of merely shuffling electronic cash from Point A to Point B, while the only thing increasing are German contingent liabilities, aka systemic debt, absolutely nothing will change.

[trying to confuse an android] Captain Kirk: Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now listen to this carefully, Norman. I am... lying. Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie... You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain! Captain Kirk: [giving him the same statement the androids have repeatedly given him several times before] I am not programmed to respond in that area.

And much more propaganda. Here is the truth. According to Greek Thema, in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, so far in 2012, an unprecedented 1,250 companies have shut down. This means no jobs, no tax revenues, no money in circulation. A complete and total economic collapse.

I bet those 1200 business´s were government sponsered nepotism jobs....you know..my Brother in laws greek wedding clean-up business....that was just flagged by the tax collector as never having paid taxes...ever....and was shut down...and never had a wedding to work on..but had a government subsidy paid directly to the brother in law...

They had their day...now its time to pay...or starve....starve and die is better for the enviroment and global warming...plus the beaches will be less crowded..

"And much more propaganda. Here is the truth. According toGreek Thema, in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, so far in 2012, an unprecedented 1,250 companies have shut down. This means no jobs, no tax revenues, no money in circulation. A complete and total economic collapse."

For a site that professes contempt for economics and PhD economists, there is rather too much interest in economics and its collapse.

It doesn't matter. Only oil matters because if there are no jobs and no tax revs and no this and no that, how do they pay for the 400,000 barrels per day that moves food to the grocery store shelves?

At $115 Brent, this is $138 million per month to feed people. How's that supposed to happen?

Greece is already into full cannibal mode. Tenants (residential and commercial) are not paying rent .... Not 1/2 .... 0 ..... and stuffing whatever cash they have left into refrigerators.

The country has outright failed to provide a solution other than taking whatever they can from each other, starting with the government who LAUGHABLY is proposing further pension and pay cuts.

The worst is yet to come in Greece. Riots are around the corner.

That Juncker and the media have the balls to pretend this is nothing more than some re-balancing of the books is proof positive the scumbags are buying time to simply divvy up Greece for themselves and toss the carcass back into the Aegean.

Greek people may have been grossly irresponsible but they are not stupid. They will burn it down first.

"And much more propaganda. Here is the truth. According to Greek Thema, in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, so far in 2012, an unprecedented 1,250 companies have shut down. This means no jobs, no tax revenues, no money in circulation. A complete and total economic collapse."

So, in other words, a total socialistic success and central-planning at it's finest.

And just today the iron chancellor said "Europe needs credibility". Well, all Europe has is this. ROFLOL! Everytime u think the €-cult can't sink lower one of the stooges steps from the shadows and opens his/her mouth.

This interplay between the ECB, EU, IMF, member states and zombie countries is more akin to paper hanging, since no real funding is ever going to materialize, primarily because no matter how many cocksucking rat bastard politicos are involved in trying to propogate this fraud, the laws of economics are unassailable.

Work, ha, you want us to do work. Why work when I can take a year off with pay, direct deposit, and from time to time answer a few questions to a govt. employee who is happy to have any job via the Internet. And Greece, to late to work there. Nothing to work for. Poor Bastards. Bankers screwed them, and now the people pay the price, not the bankers.

" I cannot work under the terms of Directive 10-289 ( this government) though not for the reasons its perpetrators intended. I know that their abolition of all scientific research does not mean a damn to you or me , and that you would want me to continue. But I have to quit, because i do not wish to succeed any longer.

I do not wish to work in a world that regards me as a slave. I do not wish to be of any value to people. [...]

And this is the thing that i cannot take, even were i able to take all the rest: that in oder to give them an inestimable benefit, we should be made martyrs to the men who, but for us, could not have conceived of it [...]

This shit is bordering on surreality, in the sense that I have yet to see a charade-like situation such as this, that has up to now being managed with a such brazen use of bullshitry and deception, towards the broader public.

And it's not as if the ignorant populace doesn't understand this time, since it affects every single one of them on a personal level, yet they were all made to believe that there is actually no fucking solution for this 100% artificial fuck-up, and that complacency 'till a divine solution is acceptable.

Despairingly, the masses seem to revolt too late, and only after bullshit-feeding by politicians reaches critical mass.

Either BBC or DW reported the other night on Tv showing literally hundreds of greek businesses moving over to Bulgaria and opening there where the banks and Gubbermint welcome them (and their money) with open arms.

An interviewed Bulgarian banker said, "business has never been better."
